This will thereby increase the average age of our inmates Age Male Female Total 14-19 745 28 773 20-29 14,934 1,012 15,946 30-39 14,699 1,196 15,895 40-49 10,195 785 10,980 50-59 6,532 425 6,957 60-69 1,968 84 2,052 70+ 572 13 585 Grand Total 49,645 3,543 53,188 RACE Race Group White Black Hispanic Asian Other Native American Native Hawaiian Unknown Grand Total Male 16,223 31,207 2,098 163 44 25 1 3 49,764 Female 1,942 1,521 59 15 6 1 0 0 3,544 Total 18,165 32,728 2,157 178 50 26 1 3 53,308 NUMBER OF CHILDREN # of Children Male 0 19,983 1 11,122 2 8,091 3 4,942 4 2,474 5 1,275 6 648 7 307 8 158 9 97 10 64 More than 10 94 Grand Total 49,255 Female 1,220 659 744 493 248 96 47 16 11 2 1 3 3,540 Total 21,203 11,781 8,835 5,435 2,722 1,371 695 323 169 99 65 97 52,795 EDUCATION Highest level of education at time of admission Grade Level Male Female Total No School 12 0 12 Elementary School 1st-5th Grade 481 19 500 Grade Level Middle School 6th-8th Grade High School 9th-11th Grade 12th Grade or GED Technical School 1-3 Years of College Bachelor's degree Master's degree Ph.D. degree Law degree Medical degree Grand Total Male 4,299 20,467 16,863 527 3,841 635 110 21 24 14 47,294 Female 344 1,019 1,234 214 457 96 21 4 6 1 3,415 Total 4,643 21,486 18,097 741 4,298 731 131 25 30 15 50,709 VETERANS Number of inmates with prior military service, as verified by Veteran's Administration Military Service Male Female Total Others 799 15 814 Air Force 827 19 846 Army 115 3 118 Navy 270 3 273 Marines 7 0 7 Coast Guard 182 2 184 Grand Total 2,200 42 2,242 MENTAL HEALTH Treatment Level Male No Problems Currently 8,112 Out Patient Treatment 5,389 Inpatient Moderate 1,494 Inpatient Intensive 342 Undergoing Crisis Stabilization 16 Hospital For Criminally Insane 2 Never had Mental Health Evaluation 34,409 Grand Total 49,764 Female 658 1,698 47 18 0 0 1,123 3,544 Total 8,770 7,087 1,541 360 16 2 35,532 53,308 2/2015
